In yet another article from Lew Rockwell’s site (”Count Me Out. Them … Count Me In“) (can you tell I’m addicted?) Linda Schrock Taylor talks about what’s wrong with the public school system (in general) and why she quit teaching (in the public school system) after thirty-five years. From reading her piece, I think I have a good idea what kind of teacher she is, and I can say that I had a several teachers like her in the tiny, poor Franklin County (NC) public school system growing up (one happened to share her surname), and I’m thankful I had them … they taught me to learn (as opposed to spoon-feeding me ‘facts’) and I think that I am where I am today partially because of their influence in my life.
